If I modify /etc/crontab to use run-parts --verbose, then I get these
messages per EMail:

What happened to clamscan.daily.sh? Why wasn't it run, but silently
ignored? The man page doesn't tell.
At least in verbose mode run-parts should list all scripts and
explain why some are ignored. And please fix the man page.
Thank you very much
Harri
